A ventilation structure of a vehicle seat is configured to circulate indoor air of a vehicle through a seatback via a blower mounted on the seatback in a dual blower type of ventilation structure. This structure includes the seatback including a seatback pad having an exhaust hole and a seatback board having an intake hole, a seatback blower mounted on the seatback pad and providing a blowing force to introduce outdoor air of the seatback through the intake hole and then discharge the outdoor air to the exhaust hole, an intake duct mounted on the seatback board and providing a path to move the outdoor air of the seatback introduced into the intake hole, and a flexible duct connecting the seatback blower and the intake duct and deformable by a movement of the seatback while maintaining connection of the seatback blower and the intake duct.

A heating and cooling device is disclosed comprising at least one integral low voltage heating and cooling source and an efficient flexible heat distribution means having a thermal conductivity of from 375 to 4000 W/mK for distributing the heat and cool across a surface. Further aspects include thermal interface compounds to provide full thermal contact as well as the use of a phase change material to provide a long lasting heating and/or cooling effect without the use of external electrical input. Preferred applications include automotive and furniture seating heating and cooling, along with outdoor garments having distributed heating and cooling effects.

A vehicle seat which can restrain displacement of a duct from a pad is provided. The vehicle seat includes a blower, the pad (P) including an air passage formed therein and a hole (B2) communicating with the air passage, the duct (100) connected to the hole (B2) and configured to connect the blower and the air passage, and a holding member (150) connected to the duct (100). The duct (100) includes a first tubular portion (133) positioned in the hole (B2), and a first flange (134) extending outward from the first tubular portion (133). The holding member (150) includes a second tubular portion (151) connected to the first tubular portion (133), and a second flange (152) extending outward from the second tubular portion (151). The first flange (134) and the second flange (152) hold the pad therebetween.

Provided is a channel cover for a ventilation seat, the channel cover including a ventilation passage blocking layer which has the shape of a plate that extends in the planar direction and of which a lower surface is positioned on an upper portion of a seat frame; an adhesion layer which extends in the planar direction, of which both upper and lower surfaces have an adhesive property, of which the lower surface is adhered to an upper surface of the ventilation passage blocking layer, and in the upper surface of which a cutting line for separating a release paper sheet is formed; and a non-woven fabric layer which covers an air flow path groove, a lower surface of which is adhered to an upper surface of the adhesion layer, a lateral end portion of which extends more outward than the cutting line, and which covers the cutting line from above.

An occupant support for a vehicle includes a seat bottom and a seat back. At least one of the seat bottom and the seat back includes an integrated article-drying system configured to dry articles.

Proposed is a seatback ventilation apparatus for vehicles, including a back board, which extends in a planar direction, has an intake hole formed therein to communicate with the outside, and is located at the rear side of the seatback, an intake duct, which is fixed to the front surface of the back board and forms a flow passage through which external air suctioned through the intake hole travels to a discharge hole, a blower, which is located in front of the intake duct, has an air inlet connected to the discharge hole, and suctions external air through the air inlet and delivers the external air to an air outlet, and a connection tube, which is interposed between and connects the blower and a seat pad in order to supply the external air introduced from the air outlet to the seat pad, and is formed to be variable in length.

A seating module for a seat, in particular a vehicle seat, may have at least a substantially air-permeable upholstery part. The upholstery part is substantially configured to let air-flow pass through horizontally.

A vehicle seat includes a seat frame including a pan frame (12), a blower, and a bracket (50) configured to attach the blower to the pan frame (12). The bracket (50) is provided with a first engagement portion (110) protruding toward the pan frame (12), and the pan frame (12) is provided with a first engagement hole (12A) in which the first engagement portion (110) is engageable. The first engagement portion (110) includes a first stopper portion (112) configured to be locked to the pan frame (12) when the first engagement portion (110) is engaged in the first engagement hole (12A), and a first elastically deformable portion (113) configured to deform elastically to allow the first stopper portion (112) to pass through the first engagement hole (12A) when the first engagement portion (110) is inserted into the first engagement hole (12A).

There is provided a vehicle seat (car seat) comprising a seat cushion pad (seat body) having an air passage connected to an outlet port (114), and a blower having an inlet port (113) and configured to feed air taken in through the inlet port (113) to the air passage. The blower (100) is located on the lower side of the seat cushion pad (seat body) that is opposite to an occupant's side on which an occupant is to be seated, and the inlet port (113) is directed upward that is a direction toward the seat cushion pad (seat body).
